The Kansas Farmer concludes a
lengthy and interesting article on sOr-
ghum sugar-making as follows:
1.-The patent of Mr.. Swenson, about
which there has been a good deal of in
quiry amounts to nothing practically so
far as the people are concerned. What
ever there is to it or about it may be of
some value to the patentee, himself,
but it is not big enough to affect the
people at large in any appreciate way.
The sugar-making business belongs to
the people, and enough is now known
about 1t by persons who have no pat
ents to keep the essential processes
free for the use of all who may choose
to make use of them. Arrangements
are now perfected, as we are informed,
for the erection of sugar works at To
peka, Newton, Dodge City, Winfield,
Spivy, (Kingman CO.., Douglas, but
Ter Co.., and it is expected the Sterling
works erected three years ago, will be
enlarged and re-arranged and adapted
to the new processes
I'VE take occasion here to state a
simple fact that most people, probably
never heard, or if they did, paid little
attention to it and have forgotten it
that to Senator Plumb and his infiu-
ence in Congress the people of Kansas
are largely indebted for the early de-
velopment of the sugar industry here.
lie took an active, earnest interest in
the matter years ago, and through his
energy and persistence Congress re-
luctantly appropriated money to be
used in experiments in sugar-making
here and in the South. Without gov
eminent assistance, we would still be
tioundering in the sea of uncertainty
and doubt

1T is poor rule that won't work
both ways" At least that is what the
Troy Chief thinks with regard to the
election of Judge Gilbert in Atchison.
This IS how the Chief-which is as
staunch republican paper as in the
state-explains matters over there:
The election of Gilbert as Judge in
Atchison county is still agitating the
public mind down there, and they are
trying to account for it. 1t doesn't
surprise us a bit. It does not ( ca
prove that the people endorse the car
ryings on of some of Gilbert's hackers
for the past season. There is a sense
OF fairness among the masses of the
people, which they will exercise even at
the risk of appearing to endorse things
that they do not approve of. The pro-
hibitiOn business has driven hundreds
of votes in that county from the repub-
lican party, as the results of re-
cent elections show. That was
county in which they could
not attempt to cram it down
the throat of the party without hurt
ing it. Enforcement of the law is all
right, but you cannot make men be-
lieve in what they do not believe in.
Last fall, Gilbert had the re-
gular republican nomination for
county attorney. The prohibition
wing of the party sold him out, and
elected a democrat. He has come
back to plague them, and they have
lost all the offices, even those held by
the prohibitionists. The majority
against Gov. Martin, last fall, was but
little less than the majority against
Judge Jackson, this fall. If prohi-
bition republicans refuse to support
republican because he does not be-
lieve as they do eupon this question
they have no right to complain if the
rule works the other way. When that
sort of cut-throat game begins, the
party is beaten.

KANSAS STILL ON TOP.

A delegation of Emporians who have
been out to the coast looking up the Cal
ifornia boom, returned home Thurs
day, perfectly satisfied that Kansas is
still the best state in the entire union.
The delegation consisted of Van R.
Holmes, j. D. Holden, j. K. Finley and
S. B. Riggs. In talk with a NEWS
scribe, Mr.. Holden when asked his
opinion as to the California craze, said
that monetary matters were pretty
wild out there, especially in the south
ern portion of the state, and positively
affirmed that it was utter foolishness
for any person to think of lettering
himself financially by removal from
Kansas to the state of California, no
matter what his station in life, as the
labor market was more than supplied,
and the advantages for making money
were better here than there for fnan-
ciers. In reference to northern Califor-
ifornia, Mr.. Holden expressed himself
of opinion that further developments
might yet be locked for. All of the
party agree, however, that Kansas is
the best place they have struck in all
their travels.

Italian Servants.

was blessed with an excellent cook,
one of the kind who seems able, by
some magic, to make savory dishes
out of nothing and in whose vocabu-
larry the word waste was unknown.
More than this, she was devoted to our
service and did not, as too many of
the Italian servants do, try to line her
pockets at our expense. Such lies as
she told for us made me actually turn
pale and when demonstrated with her
she would reply they were necessary,
one could not get on without them.
The butcher came once and begged us
not to send her to his shop as she
talked SO about the meat that he feared
she would drive off all his customers.
She usually chose Sunday when the
shop was full for one of her TRADES.
She did not love the butcher and al
ways called him the cross-eyed. She
would often make US laugh by describ-
ing how he looked at the meat before
giving it to her. She was a capital
mimic and sometimes irresistible 1t
was at her suggestion that we invested
in pair of scales, and everything
brought into the house was carefully
weighed. She had an idea that three
ounces of bone to tie Tuscan pound
was the proper allowance and woe be
to the butcher that gave her half an
ounce more! She would wrap the
meat up in its paper. march straight
back to the shop, and as likely as not
throw the meat in the mans face, with
torrent of abuse that he would not
soon forget.
If she found bad egg in a dozen she
was off on the instant, no matter what
was in hand, and told the man she had
found t10O bad eggs in succession and
the mistress scolded so she didn't know
what to do. She always returned
triumphant with a newly laid egg.
NBut Beppa" l would say why didn't
you tell the man the truth. "e"Ah,
Madame! then he would not have given
me the egg, he would have said he
couldn't see inside IF them and here
and there, there must be a bad one."
Rents and servants wages are where
one economies in Europe. A woman
servant gets 50 to s. month; a man
cook, perhaps, as high as $12. 1t
must be understood in the beginning
If this is with OF without wine and
washing. A woman will often come
for dollar less if she have these two
items given in, but il is better to paw
extra and let the servants supply their
own wine. They never expect to share
in the fruit. dainties or desserts, and
sometimes viii ask to have something
more ordinary for their table. My
cook suggested that, on Sundays, in
stead of letting the roast beef go into
the kitchen 1 should provide little
liver! Washing is also much cheaper
than at home. A family of FIVE would
pay about g week for all the washing
and ironing, including household linen
and that of the kitchen.-MGrte Coz

Mr.. MUKAT HALsTEAD, editor of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
has written an essay in which he
tabulates the white and coIored vote
in the southern states by congressional
districts and by states, in support of
the proposition that the democratic
party in the south has nullified the war
amendments of the constitution. He
declares that the great political issue
next year is not merely whether the
democratic party shall retain control of
the executive department of the fed
eral government, but whether the
country shall run the risk of demo-
cratic control of the senate and the
supreme court also, by which, he ex-
presses fear, the war amendments to
the constitution may be DECLARED in
valid
